Context - This subject has been brought by @teutat3s on our Matrix channel after discussing #350.

Issue - Garage v0.7.1 and v0.7.2 are not published on crates.io but they are released on our Gitea. As a more generic question: why some Garage releases are not published on crates.io?

Why are we doing that? - We know that the process of publishing on crates.io is a bit tedious. We discussed about automating it but we concluded that it was desirable to keep it manual but I can't remember why.

Should we change? - This issue has been reported because the ShortOpt lib we use reports Garage version by looking at the crate version, which is, in the end, very misleading for users. This problem can be fixed without changing our publishing policy. Do we see other issues implied by missing releases on crates.io?

Comments by LX:

how to avoid publishing something wrong ? (remember we can't ever change something once it's on crates.io)
do we have examples of other rust projects that have automated publishing their crates, and are there any lessons to learn from there ?
